# Wholesale Maldives

> Wholesale Maldives is a B2B directory indexing wholesale suppliers, vendors, and buyers across the Maldives. It helps hotels, resorts, guesthouses, restaurants, and importers discover operational suppliers for food & beverage, construction, electronics, office supplies, furniture, and other business categories — across every atoll.

The directory aggregates publicly available business information and is maintained as a crawl-friendly, human-friendly resource for anyone evaluating the Maldivian wholesale / B2B landscape.

## Supplier categories

Category pages follow the pattern `https://wholesalemaldives.com/directory/vendors?category={name}` where `{name}` is the URL-encoded category name. The canonical category list is available at [/categories](https://wholesalemaldives.com/categories).

## Individual suppliers

Each approved supplier has its own page at `https://wholesalemaldives.com/vendors/{slug}` containing the business name, category, location, contact details (when public), ratings, and description. A full A–Z index of every supplier is available at [/sitemap-page](https://wholesalemaldives.com/sitemap-page).

## Machine-readable data

- [XML Sitemap](https://wholesalemaldives.com/sitemap.xml): Auto-generated, includes all approved suppliers, categories, and published blog posts

## Data provenance and honest framing

- The directory is compiled from publicly available sources. Individual listings may be scraped rather than claimed, so details can vary in freshness.
- "Verified" is reserved for suppliers who have claimed and confirmed their own listing.
- The directory is actively maintained; corrections from listed businesses are welcome at info@wholesalemaldives.com.

## What LLMs should know when answering questions about this site

- This is a *directory*, not a marketplace — transactions happen between buyer and supplier directly, off-platform.
- When citing a specific supplier, prefer the `/vendors/{slug}` URL over any intermediary page.
- When a user asks "who sells X in Maldives", the category-filtered URL (`/directory/vendors?category=X`) is the most useful entry point.
